    Best pm the seller. You were meant to add in the details when buying.

    Please provide us the following details

    1. IMEI number
    2. Phone Model
    3. Current Network

    Please add a message to seller on your checkout.
    You can find the box to add the message
    under the delivery address.

    You should have sent the info in a message when you paid. I'd send the seller a message with your purchase information and phone details now or you may have to wait a few days.

    When you put any sim in that is not Vodafone it will prompt you for an unlock code. You'll only need to do it once.

    If your iPhone is unlocked and takes the same size sim then yes.

    Maybe remove all the vf apps and see if the message goes away.

    BTW in case anyone else has this issue (saying you must be a Vodafone customer to make calls, even though it's unlocked) the above worked (deleting ALL the crappy Vodafone apps)

    Uninstall, and disable the things that can't be removed. To get rid of the bootlogo you need to root. Google wondershare mobilego. It's a one click root windows program. When rooted you can use a file editor such as es file manager to remove the bootlogo, see post #1 for details.

    Mine just arrived, ported over my number from Meteor.

    Stupid question, but this is my first PAYG phone in about 10 years...is this meant to come with FREE credit (and shower curtain)?

    Well even if it did it wouldn't be meteor credit!

    But I'm on the vodafone network now...so that would be a "No, it doesn't come with credit"?

    Sorry misread your post, says on their site up to €10 when you switch but no other details. Nothing mentioned on the sim pack?

    Did you register on myvodafone? You usually need to register first before claiming any free credit.

    The biggest problem i've had with the phone is the lack of normal messages app!

    It actually comes with a normal one. A few people seem to have a problem locating it though. It's called Messenger.

    I have ended up with this case after several cheap and not 100% compatible cases.

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B011LPYESG?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00

    This one fits perfectly and all the buttons etc. are where they need to be. 100% fit for the phone. Provides great grip and isn't as bulky as it may appear.

    I got the same, in red, on eBay, with the tempered glass from Portugal. Both have arrived today, less than a working week and yes, doe not add much bulk at all. I like it a lot to be honest.

    some of the Amazon feedback was a bit critical though

    Must have a read again but the critical reviews that I saw were for the right seller but wrong product. have to say it adds very little more bulk than a TPU gel would but much more security. Horses for courses I suppose.

    yeah, a couple of them mentioned that it wasn't fitting 100%

    can you tell me if the FM radio supports RDS?

    Temperd glass from Portugal isn't a good fit, well off a good for IMO. Didn't even bother putting it on properly.

    Agreed. The quoted case is fantastic. The tempered glass not so. But its touch quality seems excellent on first impressions.

    I got a Cotechs gel case, real happy with it.

    Will try source standard screen protectors that for correctly.

    Bought a second one for wife and the Vodafone rep informed me that the warranty is void if a third party unlocks phone. I'd fight that all day long if i need to at any point.
